The long knives are coming out now... This excerpted from an AP
article this evening:

"Hersman said that as of September, there were 545 SR20s registered in
the United States. Since 2001, the NTSB has investigated 18 accidents
involving the plane; those crashes resulted in 14 deaths."

They sure make that sound terrible, don't they? Why, in just five
years, 3.3% of the SR-20 fleet has been lost to accidents, resulting in
14 deaths!

Heck, that means that in, um, er, something like 151.5 years there will
be NO Cirrus SR-20s left flying at all! See the whole article he

Yeah, but the bright side is that in only 100 years, the Cirrus SR-20
fatality rate will be nil! Did you know that the Sopwith Camel was one
of the SAFEST aircraft last year? ZERO fatalities! Wow!

Statistics have sharp edges on both sides.
